I give up.

[New Breed Leader]

Justice isn't coming.
Trump is going to get with all of it.

[PatSeg]

1. It's not over

There will be justice.

[New Breed Leader]

2. Yes it is. It's done.

Trump is getting away with everything.

[emulatorloo]

12. No it is not. Your opinion/speculation is not fact.

[PatSeg]

15. He gets away with far more than he should

But no, he does not and will not get away with everything. There will be accountability, but not necessarily in the time or way that we want.

[hamsterjill]

19. Oh good grief!

How many years now have I read posts like this on DU.

It’s always coming…but somehow never comes.

[PatSeg]

21. I understand

But it really is not over and in the meantime, he is also losing his mind.

[hamsterjill]

34. So are his freaking followers!

More so than yesterday. So we’re going to be dealing with idiots that are crazier tomorrow than they are today. But we are till going to have to deal with them.

Dems need to start getting creative in whatever way they can!

[Kaleva]

39. Catastrophic climate change will take care of much of this

Regardless of what happens to Trump or who wins this fall, tend of millions, maybe hundreds of millions will die and many more will face extreme hardship.

While some here are upset about an overcooked roast creating smoke in the kitchen, a few of us are concerned about the raging, fast approaching forest fire coming over the hills.

Keep things in perspective

[hamsterjill]

40. Because nobody listened in 2000

If Al had been President, we might have had a chance. At least we would have been 24 years ahead of where we are now on climate change.

I’m not arguing with you. But there is going to be a lot of suffering before the earth cooks. I’d rather have someone at the helm who cares about that as opposed to some crazy asshole who enjoys seeing suffering.

[PatSeg]

42. Yes, it would certainly look like a different world

if Al Gore had been elected President in 2000. I know we can't blame everything on republicans, but they definitely get the lion's share of the blame. Whenever we try to move forward, they're always pulling us backwards.

[hamsterjill]

43. I blame it all on Republicans.

Because in my opinion it’s their fault.

Peace.

[PatSeg]

44. I include apathetic complacent people

who can't be bothered to pay attention or get involved. They aren't necessarily republicans and there are lots of them. They are not bad people, but through their disinterest, they unwittingly let bad things happen.

If they realized what the stakes are, most of them probably would become engaged, but they are living in their own worlds and don't see the storm coming. At a different time in my life, I likely could be one of them.

35. "It's always coming...but somehow never comes."

this is exactly how I feel

[claudette]

9. No

there won’t.

[Ping Tung]

23. False adverrtising "...with liberty and JUSTICE for all".......except Donald J. Trump

[PatSeg]

24. I know it feels like it

But justice is not done with Donald J. Trump.

[Ping Tung]

30. I agree. But it's damned frustrating to see him get anohter break tha

ordinary citizens don't.

[PatSeg]

33. Oh yes, very frustrating

I've never seen anything quite like it. Such a stupid, careless, mean-spirited man, one would think he would have fallen a long time ago. In his case, it apparently will take longer, but it will be unforgettable, which is important. We absolutely can never forget, because we have so much to lose. At least for one or two generations, hopefully we will not take it for granted again.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. I yawn at doomers ... when I'm not condemning doomism. Doomism attacks Democrats and democracy. nt

[AZSkiffyGeek]

28. A lot of people trying to convince us that there is no point in voting

I wonder why...

[New Breed Leader]

36. I'm not giving up on voting. Far from it

In fact that's the only way we're going to be able to finally get rid of him in November.

It's the courts I'm giving up on.

[Under The Radar]

4. I feel the same...

I am starting to get pissed at the news outlets for getting my hopes up, that finally the system is going to bring this beast to justice, but somehow there is a loop hole that the system opens for him.

[dalton99a]

5. When it comes to Trump, lower your expectations.

Past Performance IS Indicative of Future Results

[BSdetect]

6. Anyone else would have been tried and convicted years ago on a shred of the evidence against trump

Is he above the law? Sure seems so.

[dalton99a]

10. In a normal country, the traitor would be languishing in a jail cell

or worse

[RKP5637]

26. Absolutely!

[CrispyQ]

27. This would have toasted anyone else to a fucking crisp.

[claudette]

7. Me, too

American justice is a joke

[NewHendoLib]

8. I've never had a single expectation he's ever have to pay

the best way to predict the future is to look at the past.

He has escaped his whole life.

The rot runs very, very deep.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. You are very forgetful. Not a single exception at all?

Trump "University" settlement.

Trump charity Foundation forced to close.

Bankruptcies.

I'm sure there' more if I looked it up. Start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump

[NewHendoLib]

17. Minor flesh wounds for him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Whatever. It makes your post title false. Please quit using false dichotomies. . . .nt

[PatSeg]

20. Yes, often memories tend to be selective

He has not been held accountable according to our standards, but he has been held accountable and he will be again in the future.

Just because Trump is always bragging about being a "winner", we need to remember how often he has been a huge loser. Thanks for pointing that out.

[RockRaven]

11. WWASCD (What Would A Shithole Country Do)?

When it comes to TFG and "justice" it's always shithole country style.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

38. Shithole countries drag them behind the police station and put a bullet in their brain

Then dump the body in an unmarked grave. Is that what you want?

[hamsterjill]

16. I feel the same way.

I expect him to be President again because I don’t see anyone stopping him.

Am I a doomer? Tell me why I shouldn’t be after watching this sonofabitch get away with everything so far.

[Bettie]

22. It sure feels like it

he gets cut more slack than everyone else who has ever got a break....combined.

[iluvtennis]

25. I feel the same, but let's allow the process to proceed as we may be surprised and No one is above the law

is actually true for the USA.

[elocs]

29. I made a post the other day about how those who gloat & laugh last,

gloat & laugh best but with Trump we way too often disregard that kind of advice and to think that what's going to happen to Trump will happen NOW. Wrong!!! The only thing that Trump is the master of is delay, yet the hyperbole of how it's all over for Trump now is rampant.
Realistic people should have seen this coming.

[bigtree]

31. bullshit

...not one of the felony charges against him have been reduced or removed, in any court.


Not even the civil judgement has been reduced, only the bond he has to put up before a dubious appeal.

Get a grip.

[elocs]

32. Way too many Democrats & those on the Left have unrealistic expectations

about just what will happen to Trump and when it will happen. If anything, Trump is the master of delay. No, he is not above the law..., yet, but he certainly does get special treatment that nobody else would never get which makes it seem as though he is above the law.
Beat Trump at the polls in November and then just watch how quickly the worm will turn on him being a loser again.

[Kaleva]

37. What exactly are you giving up?

About the only thing you can give up is voting on election day. Are you not going to vote? If you still plan on voting, you are not giving up.

[lees1975]

41. He's getting everything he wants from a system so tied up with red tape that it can't move.

So far, we have indictments reduced, delay, delay, delay, delay, stall, waiting on a Supreme Court ruling on immunity that's never coming, from the most corrupt court in history. When Rush Limbaugh advocated for stuffing our justice system with corrupt, conservative judges who all are appointed for life, he knew conservatives cannot win electoral politics. And so here we are, a broken justice system that is from a completely different part of America than the one in which the rest of us live.

In a system designed to fail to bring any wealthy, powerful or influential person to justice, he's got the advantage. We are powerless.
